Christianity is a Virus of the Mind

Today on The World Conquered, I review Chariots Of Iron. Their guest is Darrell Ray, who has written a book entitled The God Virus.

A term is used that may not be familiar to all: Meme. A meme is a mind virus. Richard Dawkins first introduced this concept in his book The Selfish Gene  and since, of course, everything that Dawkins proclaims is revered, it has become somewhat of a standard in how the New Atheist addresses the topic of religion and Christianity specifically.  We are no longer merely mistaken in our beliefs. No, we are infected with a MindVirus. It is the cause of every type of Fundamentalist  behavior in the world ("Fundamentalist" being defined to suit their assertion) and is almost impossible to isolate in order that it may be "treated" effectively. Guess who is capable of administering this treatment and what the desired end is to be.

I have made use of classic resources in order to demonstrate how the AHE's once again distort historic Christian doctrine. I refer to Isaac Watts Improvement Of The Mind, William Balfour Establishment Principle Defended and Herman Bavink Reformed Dogmatics Vol 2 God and Creation.

I hope you find it useful.
